Clare and Steve discuss how grief and loss show up in coaching and in supervision, with Madeleine Lankston who finds that much of her coaching has elements of both. As we discussed it, we realised that living loss (vs bereavement) is all around us and it behoves us to process that loss so that we don’t carry the baggage of it into our future. The experience of grief and loss is different for everyone and it can accumulate, layer upon layer of loss over the course of a lifetime. Leaning into it can be affirming, validating and normalising.
